Entering the crypto contract world has been five years now. From being a complete loser covered in blood to now being able to steadily profit, I finally understand one thing — contract trading, to put it simply, is about cultivating the mind. Money management and emotional control are the only keys to passing the level.

Back in 2018, I hid from my family and invested all my savings, charging ahead with youthful arrogance. Less than half a year later, over 800,000 yuan was gone. I forced myself to work during the day, but at night, the anxiety from losses consumed me. That feeling was worse than losing money — it was a complete denial of my own judgment.

Later, I spent more than a year obsessively studying Ethereum’s trends, gradually finding the market’s rhythm and honing my trading instincts. By 2020, when the market took off, my trading system was finally fully developed. My intraday swing point judgments became more accurate, and my mindset underwent a qualitative transformation. That year, I not only recovered all my losses but also netted 800,000 yuan.

Now, I strictly adhere to these three iron rules:

Start with 30,000 USDT, double it and then withdraw; if you get wiped out, stop immediately and reflect; only do intraday swings, resolutely avoid overnight positions and fighting the market; abandon subjective predictions and strictly follow the trend.

The contract market is a magnifier of human nature. Losing several times in a row and then trying to go all-in to recover is the most common trap. Trading itself goes against human nature, especially if you do it full-time — you have to endure long-term loneliness and others’ doubts. When the market is good, don’t be greedy; when it’s bad, don’t panic. It’s that simple, yet so difficult.

Looking back now, the numbers in my account are still rising, but my mindset has long changed. The real secret is to find your own rhythm — just like finding your feel in basketball. Once the rhythm is right, there’s no need to rush for profits.

This path is inherently lonely. I hope you can avoid some detours and protect your capital and your rhythm. If you want to chat about anything, feel free to leave a message. Having someone to walk with truly makes a big difference.
